Mount. Carmel is a mountain range near the town Haifa. The mountain range stretches from the mediteranean sea downward.
- Plenty of smaller towns were built around the mountain
- Range including the city haifa. The range was used as an area were people mined, gathering rocks and minerals, but most important is the story of elijah, it goes a bit like this, elijah challenged 450 prophets who worshipped a fake God, the challenge was “if your god is more powerful your God will consume the bull” the god that did not consume the bull will be killed. The false God did not consume the sacrifice but elijah's sacrifice, elijah asked for water so they could get the bull wet so when the true God consumed it the bull would still set on fire.
- Lightning shot down upon the bull and it set on fire even though the bull was wet,
- Then the false prophets died… the end.
